Now consider a few questions...Interesting thoughts. Now consider a few questions:<br />-How important is the "stream-of-consciousness" style of expression to your ability to find creativity through "journal-ing"?<br />-How does blogging relate to journaling and how do you decide which thoughts are best placed in which arena?<br />-With respect to the last point, it's interesting to note the different sentiment felt when typing versus actually writing (as in, with a pen or pencil). I would even go so far as to suggest that writing with a pen is, somehow, different than writing with a pencil. This may have something to do with the notion that the pen is more permanent, the pencil more involved with "engineering" or "school," the pencil more "grounded," etc. Each of those previous points could be developed into their own mini-blog. Perhaps I'll return here and do that once I get a minute. Perhaps I'll cut-paste this into my own blog. Perhaps I'll borrow from my own idea and actually write this into my journal, so as to see if a different feeling results.<br />And, see that? See what just happened? I took a comment on your blog and turned it into a self-centered rant about my own idiosyncrasies (yes, I had to Google the spelling). Heck: I can't even remember the rest of the questions I was going to ask you about your blog. How self-centered is that? How's that for stream-of-consciousness? And look... this comment is even longer than your blog. My egotism knows now bounds, I guess. Oh well, to "bring it all home" I guess I'll end pretty much where I started by saying: interesting thoughts. Seems like we all have our own secrets to creativity... and, in fact, our own things to create.<br />#thiscommentmakesnosense (I know, I was tired.

That's why I really believe...You're right! That's why I really believe that children should be exposed to all kinds of creative outlet. You never know what their "thing" might be. As a kid I always loved projects and as a teacher I love to assign them, partly to see the level of creativity the kids possess. One of my hard rules for almost every single one of my projects is that you can't buy a single thing. You have to look around you and find a way to make what you need. It's interesting to see what the kids come up with.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071016583187622819noreply@blogger.com
